Chapter 78: King Viser!
The series of assassinations had driven Robert nearly mad. He kept asking Tywin Lannister and Braavos for more loans to support his royal fleet to cross the sea and kill the Targaryen siblings he dreamed of strangling.
He kept swearing during the royal council meetings, and he vowed to fuck Daenerys's corpse to pieces in front of that little bastard.
Prime Minister Ed is constantly worried about this; the country is already heavily indebted, and the King has ordered that more money be borrowed.
Essos.
"Visser, Visser, the true Dragon King!"
Blood spilled from the Dragonstone, on the Iron Throne!
Who is willing to follow me and wield my sword across the land?
To accompany the king on his campaign is to be filled with glory!
Outside Pentos, Viserys, clad in full armor, solemnly gazed at the dragon army with its banners waving ahead, while the accompanying bards led the soldiers in chanting:
"Visser, Visser, the true Dragon King!"
Dani is queen, and Iron Cavalry is general!
The flames have burned them all away; the traitors and wolves are gone!
The true dragon has returned, and the heavens and earth resound!
Daenerys, riding her white horse, blushed and dared not look at her majestic brother who was about to go to war.
After securing her throne, as Viserys's sister, she naturally had an obligation to marry her brother Viserys in order to maintain the purity of the dragon bloodline.
Dani raised her head; the hardships of the past were now just a distant memory, leaving her with only boundless glory to come.
History is vast and boundless. When it records Viserys III's conquest of the kingdoms and the submission of the Seven Kingdoms, and when bards sing of his greatness, people will know that there was also Queen Daenerys.
She will be with him, her name remembered for eternity.
Dani couldn't help but feel a little excited, and under the surprised gaze of her maid Doria, Dani suddenly shivered.
"Your Highness, are you feeling cold?"
"The bugle has sounded, the warhorses are ready, today we march forth, may the warriors be granted your courage!"
Viserys drew his sword and gave orders to his army.
"The bugle sounds, the battle flag flies high!"
They will not return, their blood staining the battlefield!
"The true dragon is immortal, and will forever be my king!"
As the bard sang the last verse, the three armies rallied and shouted "Long live the king!"
With a command from His Majesty King Viserys III, over three thousand players, along with Pentos's two thousand-strong legion, the Royal Guard, and the Royal Enforcement Team, formed a massive army of nearly six thousand and marched toward Braavos.
The number of people exceeded ten thousand, covering the mountains and plains. Although there were only six thousand soldiers, the accompanying auxiliary troops and attendants, as well as the Loyna and Andals recruited from G. Doho, the plains, and the Velvet Mountains, totaled five thousand.
This army of 11,000 men was so large that many players were thrilled by the sight.
After all, in the previous dungeons, the players were basically scattered, a few hundred here, a few hundred there, at most a thousand people. This advance force has already gone far away, they are standing on high ground, and there is a long line behind them that can not be seen at all. The feeling is completely different.
"OK, brothers! Let's go! How about this grand spectacle? More exciting than a movie!"
Beastmaster player Jinpeng, leading two Tibetan mastiffs, looked speechlessly at his vice president, roommate, and good brother Xiandan, who was standing on a dirt slope, engrossed in his live stream, completely ignoring the expressions of passing players and soldiers watching the monkey.
After all, even in the eyes of the players, this guy was just standing on a dirt slope talking to thin air.
But Xian Dan didn't care about the stares of the crowd, because his live stream was about to burst with people, and gifts were being sent non-stop, making his heart pound.
Making money... no, it's about making money, there's nothing shameful about it.
Many people want to earn money, but they have to march in the ranks properly and can only broadcast from the front, back, left, and right. It's not as fast as broadcasting a panoramic view yourself.
Since player [月牙天沖] started a live streaming channel, many players have followed suit and started live streaming as well. I just had a sudden urge to do it today.
Relying on his position as the vice leader of the Iron-Blooded Youth Corps and the vice leader of the Royal Knights Guild, he indulged in a little bit of willful abuse of power.
He broke away from the group and started a live stream on a dirt slope, ostensibly to check if any players in his team had fallen behind.
It's really just a money-grabbing scheme.
Many players who were also streaming complained about the unfairness, but it was no use. Xian Dan said there were too many people and the wind was too strong, so he couldn't hear what Xian Dan was saying.
In the middle of the army, Viserys rode his warhorse, surrounded by rings of members of the Royal Guard, dressed in white robes, armor, and riding white warhorses—a truly flamboyant sight.
Looking into the distance, Viserys gripped the reins tightly.
Braavos, you troublemaker from Essos, you want to drag people into my hands to teach me a lesson? I'm bringing my army to attack you without warning!
At the same time, Loras also gathered nearly four thousand soldiers, free riders, mercenaries, fishermen, and conscripted farmers, both willing and unwilling. The impoverished Loras almost emptied his own pockets in order to change his fate.
When Braavos received news of the allied forces' movements, Fengyun, who had been waiting anxiously for the enemy's advance at the outpost of G. Doho, had already led hundreds of players to the vicinity of Braavos and begun indiscriminately plundering caravans.
"Why haven't they gotten rid of those damn flies yet!"
Aquaman Fredo is furious.
This is the ninth caravan to be robbed; those damned flies have already caused Braavos a loss of at least 100,000 gold dragons.
Just now, Kuiro brought him more bad news: the 300-man mercenary group he sent out to wipe out that damned fly had been ambushed and wiped out.
"How much longer will it take for our army to be fully assembled!" Aquaman Fredo's face suddenly flushed, and he straightened up, his voice strong and no longer weak as it had been recently.
"The mercenary groups in the city are quite enthusiastic about recruiting us, such as Gillo Reha's Long Spear Group of 800 men and Bloodbeard's Cat Group of 3,000 men."
And then there were Dario Naharis's two hundred remaining Ravens, who vowed to wash away his shame at Pentos with a victory.
Quero, neither humble nor arrogant, introduced the current military strength of the Braavos organization:
"With the addition of other small mercenary groups, our strength has reached 5,500 men."
"Our wealth is unmatched; even if two beggars joined forces, they wouldn't be a match for us!"
For some reason, Aquaman Fredo was somewhat agitated, his face flushed an alarming red.
"In addition, we are in contact with the Wind Blowing Group. The Iron Treasury offered them almost double what they usually receive, but they still said they are considering it," Quero continued.
"The price is negotiable. I just need to kill those two beggars from Pentos and Loras! We'll take over Loras and Pentos in one fell swoop. The other trading city-states won't stand idly by, but supporting two obedient puppets will surely deter them from baring their teeth at us!"
With his vast wealth as a support, Sea King Fredo felt he had the upper hand and was full of confidence. He was already thinking about how to take over the two city-states after the war.
